Certainly. So there was a press release, what, 6 weeks ago, 7 weeks ago from Fairchild, about Fairchild's ceasing operations of both packaging and manufacturing facilities. That's one example of integrated device makers, who, possibly, have factories that are not being optimally utilized and would be then consolidating to move certain flows into a foundry. And hence, the foundry can benefit from incremental utilization. And the IDM would benefit from not covering unused fixed cost. And that's, again, if that was Fairchild's reason or not, that, I couldn't say, but it's one such recent example of a very well-known IDM, that is ceasing operations. You have older examples happening fairly continuously. The fab light model has happened for a long time and it continues very much so. If you look at power management, at this point, the core of all power management is being produced at 0.35 micron. As you have power management, development and activities at 0.18, 0.13 micron, would one of these IDMs that has a very strong market position, but factories that are no longer state-of-the-art, would they invest for increased capability, whereas, they know that the first years of that capability will not be highly utilized? Or would they invest with the foundry to develop their flows at the foundry, and, hence, not have an underutilized factory, as the flow themselves was gaining market and market share? So that's the fab light drive, and the fab light has been -- I mean, that's the whole reason, that foundries themselves have grown. But where you have IDMs that themselves own very good intellectual property in the flow, that's where they would transfer the flow into our TOPS model that we have, TOPS means transfer optimization process services. And we have a specific team that works with the integrated device maker to take their flows and bring them into our factories. In other cases, you have integrated device makers that design to the flow of the factory itself or the flow of the foundry itself. So you have 2 different models, but 1 model is, very specifically, someone who is very strong in their own flow and wants to do a development or needs additional capacity for an existing technology note, instead of investing for that capacity themselves, thinks it's a win-win. The foundry, I'm going to give them incremental wafers that enable them to have a steady-state higher utilization. And I don't need to invest CapEx or infrastructure that I might not be utilizing especially immediately. Did that answer your question, Jay?
